Jacobs is ahead in the tie-breaker, but at that he will have to go right back out and take on the 2nd place team, and Horgan & co Sunday. He should be OK, but we will have to stop referring to his "autoberth" in the Brier.

Horgan dropped a 5 on them in their round robin game, not sure how it played out, but I sure wouldn't call it sandbagging. They've had a few other close games too, including the 2nd loss to Dylan Johnston. Plenty of decent curlers who will beat you if you play badly up in NONT. Everyone will recall they got through four or five years ago, down two without hammer in 10 when their opponent unfortunately missed an open draw against three.

im curious as to what not getting to the brier would do to them. we all know they said they would stay together no matter what happened at the olympic trials. however since winning olympic gold in 2014 they haven't really done all that much of note. what kind of impact would a season like this where they fail to even make the playoffs at the olympic trials and then fail to even get to the brier have..

would they second guess their decision.

my mother, who's not even a fan of curling and only watches casually even noted that the jacobs team just seems to be off . the chemistry isn't there. they were hard to watch at times at the trials. there's a lot of tension there

horgan has , like hasselborg developed a habit of losing the big games/final when he gets there. in this case it's against one of the best teams in the world but it's just something i;'ve noticed. similar to hasselborg, they struggle to close out strong events

quote:Originally posted by IN-OFF-FOR-2 Remember he's 20 vs 33. I would hope Jacobs would show more experience under the ciccumstances. Can you imagine the cursing and shrapnel on the ice if they lost?

oh, i know. i fully expected him to lose here. it's just something i;ve noted in general about them.

still though. 5-2 up with 3 to go..that's gotta sting no matter who you are playing
